Pizzeria, Kebab o Sushi bar?

Letizia_2013Ieri sera ho provato un risotto agrodolce mai assaggiato prima… mabuono! Il ristorante è conosciuto per la sua cucina fusion.

Franceschin@17Risotto agrodolce?? Ma che roba è? Cucina fusion? Mai sentita!

Letizia_2013Semplice: combini un piatto tradizionale italiano, in questo caso il risotto,con erbe, spezie e ingredienti di un’altra cultura, tipo quella giapponese esi ottiene un piatto originale e gradevole al gusto.

Angel@Che eresia! In questo modo si rovina la vera cucina italiana e la suareputazione. Secondo me queste miscele culinarie dovrebbero essereevitate, o addirittura proibite! Se no si perde l’identità culturale di unpaese.

Letizia_2013Che vuol dire “la vera cucina italiana”? Tutti i piatti italiani sono ilprodotto di una miscela di ingredienti, spezie e sapori provenienti daculture e paesi diversi ed evoluti nel tempo. Ogni regione, anzi, ogni cittàe paese, ha le sue ricette e i suoi segreti in cucina. Non esiste una cucina“italiana” in quanto tale, al massimo si parla di cucine regionali.

Downunder_18Brava Letizia che la pensi così, che parli chiaro! Dopotutto, il pomodoro ela pasta sono sinonimi di prodotti italiani per eccellenza, però uno vienedall’America e l’altro dall’Asia! Per non parlare del caffè, un altroprodotto locale americano. Che pranzo sarebbe senza spaghetti alpomodoro e un bel caffè per digerire?!

Angel@Per me è tutto una schifezza!

Downunder_18Io sono italiano ma vivo in Australia da molti anni. Qui convivono tanteculture con le loro cucine che spesso si mescolano per creare una cucinaaustraliana veramente fusion e ricca di sapori e varietà di ingredienti! Unadelizia per i palati! In Australia la domanda è cosa si mangia di buonooggi e non dove si mangia.

Imagine you are Mirella’s uncle or aunt. Write a response to her email.

Cari Zii

i miei vogliono andare a vivere in Italia! Pensate un po’… quell’egoista dimia madre ha accettato un’offerta di lavoro come assistente personale di unimportante politico a Roma. Papà è entusiasta dell’idea. Non capisco peròcosa mai farà in Italia. Io invece sono disperata! A me non ci pensa nessuno!Proprio ora che mi preparo per la maturità. Qui ho un sacco di amici equesto cambiamento mi spaventa da morire. Papà ha suggerito che se nonvado con loro, potrei venire a stare con voi almeno fino alla maturità e poi liraggiungo. Che ne pensate? Almeno papà ve ne ha parlato?

Secondo voi, ce la potrei fare a finire la scuola in Italia? O sarebbe megliofinire gli studi qui in Australia e aspettare un anno prima di fare questopasso?

Ma soprattutto…mi sopportereste per un anno intero con le mie ansie epreoccupazioni? Andremo tutti d’accordo?

Aiutatemi a decidere!
